Filed March 19,. 1946 INVENTOR. nhony ,f osa/ ATroRNEY Patented June 7, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in Style-O-Graph pens.

Thus one of the objects of the invention is to provide a pen point which will always be ready to write without getting stuck in the adjacent parts, and thereby avoiding the intermittent hitting a surface with the pen point before the lat- .ter is able to write, as is now commonly the case with this kind of pens.

Another object of the invention is to provide a ready flow of ink at any time.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a sturdy pen which will have great durability and not get out of order.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which similar characters of reference, indicate corresponding parts in all views, and in which:

Figure 1 is an elevational View of a fountain pen.

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse out through a fountain pen, Ipartly in section, and with parts broken off, embodying my invention.

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view, taken on the line 3 3 of Figure 2.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral I indicates a writing tip point; Il a tube loosely surrounding said writing tip point, .but tightly pressed into a bore 40 at the outer end of the combination feed section I2. The said feed section is inserted into the conventional barrel I3 which is screw-threaded as at I4 upon its youtside to receive the also conventional cap I5. The pen sack I6 is secured t-o the combination feed section, as shown.

The combination feed section is formed with an inner cylindrically shaped compartment I1 communicating with the bore 40.

A weighted solid member I9 is loosely arranged in the space I1 to .permit the ow of ink along its side, while fissures 20 are formed in the outer surface of said member I9 for the same purpose.

The writing tip point I0 is solidly secured to the weighted member I9 in any convenient manner. A small pin 2| is inserted through an oblong opening 22 in the lower part of said weighted member I9 and through the walls of the section I2, whereby said member I9 with its writing point I0 is capable of moving up and down according to whether or not the fountain pen is in a writing position.

It is obvious that slight changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts, as shown, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I do not, therefore, wish to limit myself to the exact construction and arrangement shown and described herein.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of fthe United States, is:

1. A fountain pen having a section made with an inner compartment terminating in a bore at one end thereof, a tube lxedly inserted in said bore, a weighted 4cylindrical member slidably arranged -in said compartment, a writing tip point xedly secured to said member and adapted t0 slidably move in said tube, said member being formed with an enlarged horizontal slot rat the lower end thereof, `and a .pin loosely mounted in said slot, and secured in the section, whereby to permit an up and downward movement of the writing point.

2. In a device, as claimed in claim 1, and wherein the section has been formed with a tiny inlet upon the side thereof.
